Competition: Irish First Division

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

Hoping to widen their buffer in the First Division play-off places this weekend, Longford will host Wexford on Saturday night.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in another free-scoring display, Longford are sat in pole position to clinch a play-off spot this year. In their 25 First Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded 12 wins, six draws and seven defeats, scoring 35 and conceding 29 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 42, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat fourth in the standings and holding a commanding 10-point buffer from slipping out of the top-five. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 3-0 victory away at Bray, Longford have now won three of their last four First Division matchups. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have seen four of their previous seven home fixtures finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, left disappointed to have had to settle for a single point last weekend, Wexford are seeking some stability. In their 25 First Division matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, eight draws and nine defeats, scoring 37 and conceding 40 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 32, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat sixth in the standings and four points adrift of finding a route into the play-off places. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out back-to-back 2-2 draws against Cobh Ramblers and Galway, Wexford have won just one of their last four matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should be noted, with Saturday’s guests seeing seven of their previous eight contests finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
